“awesome rolls!!! very nice place“

“Muy rica la comida y satisfecha con la atención brindada por Yani. Pronto volveremos . Excelente servicio!!!“

“Hiyakawa went above and beyond what was expected. My husband is a huge sushi lover, and me, not as much; but it was a nice date night for him, so I figured I’d get some gyoza and the wagyu and egg nigiri and be perfectly happy. Well, I was about to be SO impressed. We were sat at the sushi bar, and had the most amazing service from one of the sushi chefs. After we put in our order he overheard my husband thanking me for bringing him and the sushi chef realized I wasn’t much of a raw fish gal… he made it his goal to have me try something new that he thought would help bridge the gap. He absolutely astounded. I LOVED the nigiri he had me try so much and was overall so impressed with the passion and love that goes into the craft there. My husband said it has ruined all other sushi for him, lol. Amazing and so grateful we chose this place in a city full of excellent restaurants.“

“A+ on food through service and everything in between.“

“El mejor sushi de Miami! Siempre que voy pido el Suntory y el Blue Bird roll. A mis hijos les encantan los postres, uno mejor que el otro!“

“Good, healthy food at a decent price“

“I had an excellent experience. The atmosphere was great, but what really stood out was the service. Fabiola was very attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the entire visit.

And I especially have to highlight LUISA — her drinks were AMAZING. You can really tell how much talent and dedication she puts into every cocktail. Every drink was perfectly made, with incredible flavor and presentation. Honestly, some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Luisa truly made the experience even more special, and I would definitely come back mainly for her drinks. Highly recommend trying anything made by her.“

“What a great experience! Right in South Miami! Our waitress, Karen, was amazing! Very attentive and extremely helpful with the menu and drinks. She recommended the Omakase Signature to share. It comes with a variety of sushi. Compliments to the chef, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. 100% recommend coming down and seeing Karen and enjoying the delicious food and atmosphere!“

“I felt very othered here when I came to celebrate a milestone. I don’t want to make it racial, but as the only person to lower their voice as the only black person in the restaurant, it felt very jarring to see everyone else speaking at a louder volume than I was and any it wasn’t a problem. Delicious food but shitty vibes. Especially for what I was paying. Won’t be back. If black I guess beware.“

“Todo como su comida y su personal de es excelente. Gracias“

“I love this restaurant . 😍“

“Alex, thank you so much for your hospitality.

I came with a friend, and it was our first time seeing each other in awhile. He made our reunion so special. We asked him to help course out and choose our meals. Everything was SPECTACULAR. The food was so fresh and flavorful. I am so grateful for his recommendations. He even was able to educate us on the tiers of Sake.

So much fun and delicious food. We will come back !!!!“

“Excellent. Fully recommended. Everything we ordered was fantastic, different, tasty. You must try!“

“Private exclusive dining experience Excellent service and food And Luis was attentive and gracious We will be back“

“Incredible atmosphere and interior design! The happy house is probably the best deal in Miami. Edamame dumplings are insane! Staff, particularly Nick and Colin, were both super hospitable. Highly recommend to anyone craving Asian food or who just want a nice night out 🙏🏼“

“olá uma excelente noite que página top“

“Loved 107 Taste! Cindy is amazing, and the Pad Thai was sooo good, full of flavor, and cooked just right. Highly recommend! (Don’t forget the donuts!)“

“I celebrated my Mom’s 89th Birthday at Japan Inn located in Doral with a Hibachi Lunch and everything turned out great! From the time we made the reservation for our party of 20 they were very accommodating and helpful. We were allowed to take our own cake, some balloons for decor and the ambiance was super! From the Servers to the Hibachi Chefs … everyone was pleasant, the food yummy and the service outstanding. Everyone in our party was happy and satisfied with the experience and our celebration…especially the birthday girl, my Mom. I highly recommend Japan Inn in Doral for any occasion. There’s ample parking, the restaurant is clean and the spacious setting is very nice. Plus Roger, the Manager, is very professional as well as the whole team who work there. We look forward to returning soon and wish to express our gratitude for the service and attention given to our party.“

“Fantastic! This restaurant checks all the boxes! The food is phenomenal, the ambiance, service and attention to detail were on point; all and everyone of the dishes were delicious and beautiful works of art, not too many that make you feel stuffed but more than enough so you leave satisfied. We had such a special night and felt the love in every dish, we felt as we were invited to the chefs home for dinner.
We had a wonderful time ! Definitely will come back ! Can foresee some stars coming ( much better than starred restaurants we visited before ) wishing you the best of luck and positive energy !“

“The chefs special sashimi was so fresh. Texture was very delicate and melted in the mouth. The toro hand roll was filled with delicious fatty tuna and had the right amount of bite. Loved seeing the two talented sushi masters upfront working their craft, precisely cutting the fish, into vibrant work of arts.

Service was wonderful too would come again! The handroll was so good I ordered an additional toro and salmon roll.“

“I've been meaning to try Sushi Corner after reading many reviews about how tasty and affordable this restaurant is, finding all these reviews to be completely true! This hole in the wall gem of West Kendall is well worth your time to try! I came in with my boyfriend last night to their small no frills location and was immediately greeted by our server who was very attentive throughout our whole meal. It's true that they do serve everything using plastic ware which to me doesn't matter at all. I care about the quality of food and the food is definitely top notch! My boyfriend and I decided to order various menu items to share. I started with a hot bowl of Miso Soup $2 which was good; loved the portion which I felt was more than most places. Next we had the Rainbow Roll $10 (California roll topped w/various fish) which was glaringly fresh and came out beautifully. The Sexy Roll $10 (fish tempura, avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, rolled w/soy paper, tempura flakes, eel sauce, spicy mayo) was by far my favorite just because of all the incredible flavors in it. The Florida Roll $9 (spicy conch, cucumber, masago) definitely surprised me with its spice level and amount of conch within it. Lastly, we ordered the Sushi Corner Fried Rice $8 (chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and masago) which ultimately surprised me in portion and tastiness. The fried rice isn't over done with soy sauce so it remains tasting light though its also savory because of a smoky flavor. So tasty! Can't wait to try your other roles and highly recommend to anyone in the area as I think they also deliver!“

“This is a wonderdul place..The Sushi is spectular...I highly recomend..“

“This is more than a restaurant, its a culinary art exhibition. You will experience unique spins on classic dishes, foreign flavor combos you wont find elsewhere, and just damn good food. Great food, great ambience, great value. Would give it 6 stars if i could“

“Delicious food, many options, well worth it.“

“extraordinario, la mejor atención y calidad.“

“Best restaurant in Brickell Miami“

“I honestly have no words to describe this place. This is by far my favorite sushi restaurant in Miami!!!!!!!!

Everything was exceptional, from the service to the quality of every dish. The owner personally came to check in, which made the experience feel even more special.

The kampachi sashimi was hands down my number one favorite, absolutely out of this world. We also loved the tempura shrimp, and the fresh wasabi prepared at the table really shows the level of care and quality.

We finished with a matcha cake, and honestly, I couldn’t pick a favorite because everything was incredible. The price was also more than fair for the quality.

Already excited to come back. If you’re in Miami and love sushi, this place is a must. 100% recommend🤤🤤😍😍❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻“

“First time coming, place is fabulous, environment is so nice and the decor around makes it so cozy. The boss is super friendly, take his word for whatever he suggests. The food was so goooodd and very affordable. Boss also gave us a free sample of the dessert which was very kind of him. I will be coming back love this restaurant, highly suggest for all to visit AT LEAST once.“

“Omg love this place the vibe is great the lady at the front Shen is soo cute…also she got me hip on that passion fruit tea(bruh I don’t even like passion fruit but this tea is sooo bomb) yea come on in and get this teriyaki bowl with fried rice too !!!!“

“The staff are so friendly and engaging!“

“We went there for my birthday and we loved it! The restaurant's ambience was so inviting and upscale, food was very interesting and delicious, and drinks were pretty! We loved crispy rice spicy tuna- very crispy, and rock shrimps were great which made us order rock shrimp roll( my favorite)! Drinks were a little strange- fortune teller was very specific, i was expecting more whisky flavor, but it tasted more sour. The restaurant is very beautiful, love it that it's outside but feels like you are in Japanese garden! We will be back!!!“

“I recently went to this sushi spot in South Miami, and I’m still thinking about it. From the moment we sat down, everything just felt right. The owner even came out personally to check on us, making sure we got everything we ordered and asking for feedback, which made the whole experience feel really thoughtful and welcoming.

We ordered a mix of dishes, including Hamachi Crudo, spicy tuna crispy rice, the Hamachi Love Me roll, Crazy Roll, and the Acevichado roll, and honestly, every single thing was delicious. The Hamachi Crudo was my absolute favorite. I loved it so much I think I had three orders of it.

But the real surprise of the night was the carrot cake. I am a huge carrot cake fan, and this one completely blew me away. It was easily one of the best I have ever had, and it was so good I had to get one to go.

On top of all that, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing, which made the whole night even better.

If you are in South Miami and looking for a great sushi spot, this one is definitely worth checking out, especially for the Hamachi Crudo and that unforgettable carrot cake.“

“Excellent service.Our server was great.“

“Excelente la atención de German y la comida demasiado buena.. Lo recomiendo 👍“

“Stunning restaurant in Brickell Restaurant. My husband and I love good food and the sexy fish did not disappoint. A little too crowded for my liking but that’s just a preference thing. The atmosphere was very upbeat and presentation of each meal was perfect. 10/10 recommend. If you’re looking for a luxurious Asian experience then this is it! The female restroom seems to be the place where all the ladies go to take selfies 😂 Proceed with caution lol ⛔️ ⚠️“

“My expectations were truly exceeded. This is not your typical sushi joint. The chef there definitely is building their dishes with love and care. They seem to use real crab meat wherever you would normally have “sea leg” and every single item in our order was delicious, super fresh, prepared uniquely, and reasonably priced. And it’s delivered! Super bonus. Do it, you won’t regret it. Awesome place. Welcome to the neighborhood.“

“Greatj time , lovely special time with my kids“

“The food was excellent and the service, efficient and friendly! I would definitely return!“

“Amazing new sushi spot in South Miami! The space is beautiful and cozy, the sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and their creative signature rolls were a highlight. The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit. We’ll definitely be back!“

“This is truly the best sushi restaurant in town! Every visit is a wonderful experience. The sushi is incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious.

What really makes this place special is the outstanding service. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and appreciated.

If you love sushi or are simply looking for an exceptional dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommended! Thank you, Ximena for such a wonderful service“

“I love the sushi, 🍣 the variety, freshness and the service 🌹“

“Sakura is where I, as a 7 or 8 year old kid, tasted my first piece of sashimi. It was Hamachi, and it changed my life. Over the past 40 ish years, Sakura has remained a constant in our lives. From working lunches to family and friend dinners, celebrations, and everyday weeknight dinners, Sakura has been a favorite. It has not changed much, and that is a very good thing. Wonderful people sharing their wonderful food with South Florida for that long says something amazing about the food and the family here. Thank you, Sakura, for being in my heart (and my stomach!) for 40 years. どうもありがとうございます“

“Fresh sushi, fast service & always clean. Owner/ sushi chef is cool.“

“There is a reason this plave has been around forever and will continue to do so. The food is good and fresh, just what you want at a sushi place. They have something on the menu for everyone, so you dont have to love sushi. They have a deserts the fried ice cream and donuts are soooo good. This is the best authentic sushi in the area not fusion just good traditional sushi.“

“I have been coming to this location since it was Canton and Teddy is what continues to bring us back. We love him and have looked forward to going to this location because of him from childhood to now. Thanks to Teddy we chose to cater sushi maki at our 250 person wedding and the guests were ranting and raving about it. Teddy, thank you for being the highlight of our experience for two decades now!“

“Amazing experience that will inspire you to elevate your food senses and completely takes dining to another level. Truly unique food creations from beginning to end that will satisfy your appetite for world class curated food based on your own menu and created by a terrific chef.“
